Lhurggian standoff

Last time we left while
some of our heroes were on their way to a Unity administrator in New Eslöv,
looking for work. The small group consisting of Cpt. Sargent, Corporal McIntosh
and Dabby D were going thru the seedier part of the seedy town of New Eslöv
when they when they suddenly heard an angry cry, a Lhurrgian battle cry! They
had walked into Hanz Reynolds, older brother of Burt! He cried out for revenge
for his brother who was now dead at the hands of the farmer.With him he had two (really
evil) goons, and so the two opposing crews lined up [old western music playing]
and so they all drew their weapons and unleashed deadly volleys of lead and
laser. Cpt Sargeant bailed after taking a salvo from Hanz rattlegun but not
before inflicting a hit on Hanz, but as the tough three-headed Lhurgg he was he
did not even flinch! Cpt Sargeant however got his nerves together and shot down
the gigantic Lhurgg with his mighty fury rifle!

On both the flanks a lot of
fire was traded but after Hanz was taken down it was clearly a losing battle
for the goons and soon the both fled.

Draw!

Take cover!

Hanz meets his fate

All this fighting however
meant that the group was late and as per Unity law 41-773 paragraph 783
subsection 3C they were immediately taxed and had to hand over 5 items from
their armoury, mostly hand guns, some not operational...

Crew Gabriel managed to
recruit a new member, The Wrench, a technician who has left a local tech guild
looking for wealth... If the crew keeps expanding like their supplies will
surely start to dry up and the cramped living conditions may cause friction and
rivalries...

The crew also learned a lot
about the local area this turn. The settlement of New Eslöv is controlled by
the Oflon militia, which is the only form of government that exists around
these parts. It takes its name from the valley, the Oflon Valley. They have
just recently gone to war with the corporation Gemedia Inc, a former Consulting
company that has left its home world after a bloody reclaiming campaign from
Unity and set up shop here in the Oflon valley, now mostly focusing on
electronics production, it controls the water flow in the two rivers in the
valley, Oleg & Eleg.Recent increases in electricity
prices due to reduced flow in the Eleg, and the ensuing water shortage, has led
to conflict with the Oflon Militia.

ID-10T played with some
loaded dice and although he won he also made some enemies as he ripped of the
Pirate gang Black beardz, he got out without a scratch to his plating, this
time.

The group also looked-for
work and found a new patron, an Alien renegade, Jazar Slipko, he wants the
spokesperson for Gemedia Inc. and former war hero, Jude Adams dead!
